Aim To identify non-pharmacological factors associated with ineffective blood pressure (BP) control among individuals with arterial hypertension (AH) in a Siberian urban population sample.Material and methods A considerable proportion of individuals with AH does not achieve BP goals. BP control is influenced by a number of non-drug determinants, including non-modifiable and multiple modifiable factors.

Hypertension is a pervasive and progressive complication in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, affecting up to 90% of those in advanced stages or on dialysis. A particularly insidious aspect of this condition is nocturnal hypertension, characterized by high blood pressure (BP) during sleep and a blunted or absent nighttime BP dipping-phenomena associated with accelerated CKD progression and increased cardiovascular risk. Despite its strong prognostic significance, nocturnal hypertension remains underdiagnosed due to limited use of ambulatory BP monitoring.

Background: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) commonly occurs following surgical repair of degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR) and is associated with unfavorable outcomes. This study aimed to identify preoperative risk factors for acute POAF in patients undergoing mitral valve repair for DMR, with a specific focus on the role of preoperative echocardiography.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted involving 1127 DMR patients who underwent mitral valve repair between 2017 and 2022.

Background: Compared to patients with controllable hypertension, those with resistant hypertension (RH) have a higher incidence of cardiovascular complications, including stroke, left ventricular hypertrophy, and congestive heart failure. Therefore, an urgent need exists for improved management and control, along with more effective medications. Aldosterone synthase inhibitors (ASIs) are newly emerging drugs that have gradually attracted an increasing amount of attention.

Background: A comprehensive knowledge of renal vasculature is essential to diagnose and carry out safe clinical interventions accurately. Anatomic variations in renal vessels can present procedural challenges in surgeries such as nephrectomy, transplants, and endovascular interventions.
Methods: In the present retrospective study, we analyzed the distribution patterns of the renal vascular variants and measurements of length and diameter in computed tomography angiographies (CTAs).
